WHEN YOU FALL you have to
land, preferably somewhere dimly lit and topless, where funny money is
tossed like glitter and there is full contact lap dancing, loose
rules and lots of tourism.
I flew to New Orleans with twelve bucks in my pocket. I wasn’t going to get arrested dancing topless on Bourbon Street. “The weather’s ninety degrees with ninety percent humidity,” the
stewardess announced on the plane. People moaned but I was ready to be
wrapped in southern steam. Out of the airport, I was hit by heat. New Orleans is a sweaty pussy that sticks to your face, soaks into your skin and stays the night.
